You can’t even dialog with people like this. 

The followers of Mohamed are demanding centuries old depictions of the Prophet and his followers be removed from churches in Europe.

Belgian police is protecting a 17th century pulpit in the Flemish town of Dendermonde. The pulpit in the Catholic church of Our Lady dates from 1685, two years after the battle of Viennawhen the Christian armies of the Polish King John III Sobieski defeated the Turks poised to overrun Europe. The sculpted wooden pulpit, made by Mattheus van Beveren, depicts a man subdued by angels and represents the triumph of Christianity over Islam. The man is generally thought to be Mohammed. He is holding a book which is generally assumed to be the Koran.

Meanwhile, radical Muslims in Italy are still demanding the destruction of an early Renaissance frescoin Bologna’s Church of San Petronio, painted by Giovanni da Modena in 1415. The fresco depicts Mohammed being tortured in Hell. - Brussels Journal

Traditional Catholics may be Puritans…

Well, I always thought trads were sort of like fundamentalists, but now I hear they may be Puritans.  Funny how tolerance can often lead to permissiveness… and how easily one’s faith can be compromised.  It is called human respect - people get caught up in that stuff.
